y Jerseyman Knocked Down by Swipe of a
Big Snakes Tail.

SALEM, N. j., November, 5.-The people of
Elmer and vicinity, i'll this county, are mnch
excited over an unpleasant visitor in the shape
Of q monster snake. A few days ago John
VAN Meter, farmer, was cutting down the
shrubs and suckers along the fence between
his farm and that of Horace b. Shoemaker.
While at work he was stuck with the tail of q
large spotted snake and knocked down.
When he regained his footing he made tracks
for home. While fleeing he hastily observed
the monster, and pronounced it rs being fully
twenty-five feet long and as thick as stove
pipe. When he had recovered from his fright
he organized gang of a dozen of the local
residents and went in search of the huge rep
tile, but the monster could not be found.
Ferdrick Vineyard, who occupied the same
farm about twenty years ago, stated he saw
the same reptile when he was a tenant. 1t
was then just rs long rs it is now and was ex-
ccedingly bold. Daniel Huchner, who was q
farmland at the same time, for years related
startling stories Of the 'yallor cover order
about the "boay-constricter that hankered
around the lower saw mill and swallowed
negro babos.' This is supposed to be the
traditional snake, and, in consequence the
whole locality is somewhat uneasy when
wandering abroad. The serpent is said to
make its home in n swamp just below Elmer,
and parties are now out every day hunting for
him.
